Produktbeschreibung

Research interest in the service sector has boomed in recent years as deindustrialisation became entrenched. Instead of being regarded as merely supplementary to traditional industry and manufacturing, services have generated progressively rising levels of growth in developed economies while at the same time coming to be recognised as major drivers of innovation. Knowledge Intensive Business Services and Regional Competitiveness charts the the rise of these influential actors and their influence on regional competitiveness.
